Study Notes
Demand in Economics
- Demand in economics is always accompanied by purchasing power, meaning the ability and willingness to buy goods or services at certain prices.
Demand vs. Desire
- Demand refers to the quantity of a good or service that consumers are both willing and able to purchase at various price levels.
- Desire is simply the wish or want for a good or service without the requisite purchasing power, making it fundamentally different from demand.
Market Demand
- Market demand aggregates individual demands for a good or service across an entire market, reflecting the total quantities that all consumers are willing to buy at different price points.
Ex Post Demand
- Ex post demand refers to the actual quantity of goods and services that consumers purchase after the fact, based on real transactions rather than intentions or forecasts.
Important Factors of Economic Analysis
- Two critical factors in economic analysis are consumer behavior which influences demand, and market dynamics such as price fluctuations, which affect supply and demand equilibrium.
